Rect of top level control is smaller than sum of its children's Rects

I'm trying to create a custom button that is based on a TextureButton but which has some extra components laid on top of it to provide extra feedback. This control is saved as a separate scene so I can create instances of it. I'm having some trouble because when I add this control to a GridContainer, it is treated as much smaller than I would expect given the Labels and TextureRect that are contained in my scene. Even when I drag to resize the root TextureButton in the editor, it is possible to resize the top level button to be smaller than the controls on top of it.

I want to be able to set it so that the top level control is always at least large enough to contain all its children. (Ie, that InventoryItemButton should never be smaller than HBoxContainer). Is there a way to do this?

I'm not good at this sort of thing, but I'd guess the problem is that your texturebutton is getting size information set by the grid container, so you might have to pay more attention to the size of your gridcontainer and how large each grid item gets to be.

I was playing around with the GridContainer, but it's able to lay out regular buttons fine. There's got to be a way to make this control act like a regular button for layout purposes.

I was able to figure something out by getting rid of the TextureButton at the root and replacing it with a PanelContainer. (It had the side effect of adding an extra margin to my control, but I was able to get past that by manually assigning a CanvasStyle).
